Afghanistan
Mohaqeq: Karzai to Share Power, if Re-elected
[Quqnoos] An Afghan political figure claims that Hamid Karzai promised to share power if his support ensures Karzai's victory. Leader of Wahdat-e Islami party, Mohammad Mohaqeq, Friday told a gathering in Kabul that President Karzai has vowed to give 5 ministerial posts to Wahdat party if re-elected.

A week earlier, Wahdat-e Milli Party led by Mohaqeq and Junbish-e Milli Party led by Gen Dustum vowed to support incumbent Karzai in the upcoming Afghan elections.

Wahdat Party mostly supported by Hazara minority urged President to boost development in Hazara dwelling areas in the country.

Mohaqeq advised his followers to campaign and vote for Karzai who has signed a remarkable power share deal with him.

Dustom and Mohaqeq were both Karzai's rivals in the 2004 elections and after Karzai's victory. They both were among those who criticised the transparency of the polls.

Mohaqeq said he discussed the deal, what he calls "rights of Hazaras" with many candidates but finally came to an agreement with Karzai. He told the gathering that upgrading Jaghori and Behsood -- two Hazara districts -- to provinces are included in the deal.
